The incorporation of the fruit into these lambic beers is
well executed. But trying this after I'd sampled
St Louis Framboise,
another raspberry lambic, informed me off the bat that there
are better tasting and cheaper raspberry lambics out there.

The Chapeau brand from De
Troch produces something I wouldn't be ashamed to drink with
their Chapeau Framboise, a raspberry flavored lambic.

The incorporation of the
fruit into these lambic beers is well executed. The
fruit doesn't taste artificial. At the same time, they
pack in the alcohol content of a light lager. No real
drinker wants non-alcoholic beer, do they?

If someone had never tasted a
lambic before, then trying a Chapeau Framboise could be a
good way to ease in to the style. But the ultimate
purpose of any beer is to savor it and enjoy it, whether it
costs $1 a bottle or $10. And trying this after I'd
sampled St Louis Framboise, another raspberry lambic, informed me off the
bat that there are better tasting and cheaper raspberry
lambics out there.
